...governor's road-building program, moreover, has always had only one real aim: to move traffic. Time and time again, communities have protested the losses in housing and unemployment which Volpe's hard-driving road program was imposing upon them. Since its founding two years ago, the federal Department of Transportation has been creeping toward a policy of taking a hard look at such costs of building roads before approving them. If he holds true to form Volpe will reverse this trend, making Federal road-building once again simply a matter of pouring concrete along lines dictated by traffic flows...
Toward Simpler Cars. What can be done? Hart recommended that states start licensing mechanics, a move that might give motorists some protection against shoddy work. He also suggested that the Government might invoke antitrust laws against some auto-repair practices, notably that of charging higher rates for nonwarranty work. But most of the work is done at scattered, independent garages, which are hard to control. Spokesmen for them argue that drivers must be prepared to pay even higher fees if the shops are to attract and hold reliable mechanics...
...begun to market dehydrated cake mixes. Unlike the conventional powdered mixes, they contain all the necessary ingredients thoroughly mixed into a "batter," and the lovin' housewife has only to add water and eggs.

When Keith moved Hanold up from treasurer last year and took the post of chairman for himself, he deliberately left the division of authority vague. Keith, a longtime Pillsbury salesman, says that he wanted a man to move Pillsbury into untapped areas...
None of the oil is likely to reach U.S. markets until 1971. The companies and the Alaskan state government are still mulling over ways to move it. The companies prefer a pipeline to a relatively ice-free port like Valdez. The line would have to weather destructive ground heaves caused by summer thaws and winter freezes and could cost $500 million or more. Alaska's Governor Walter J. Hickel is pushing his longtime dream of extending the Alaska Railroad beyond its present Fairbanks terminal all the way to the Arctic Sea. Washington's Department of Transportation, which runs...
